Our big plans last night was to make pizza and play games while watching the New Years Eve shows. Yea I know we are getting old :) Not sure if I have posted our low carb pizza in the past so here is what we did yesterday.
Below are the ingredients for the crust. 24 oz mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup cream cheese, 3 cups almond flour , 4 tsp white wine vinegar, 4 tspn salt ( I used Pink Himalayan) and 4 eggs.
First up you melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave and blend together into a homogeneous mix as best possible with a spatula. I did this in two batches just estimating the "half" of each cheese and then after this pic blended them all together.
Next I added the melted cheese and all other ingredients to the Kitchenaid with a dough hook. I did whisk the eggs some prior to adding them. Mixed until we had a nice consistent dough. After it was done I oiled my hands up good and divided the dough into two sections for the two pizzas on well oiled stone pans.
I spread it out by hand but it can also be rolled between two parchment sheets. I may start to do it that way to get it a little more consistent in thickness throughout. After its all spread out I hit it all over with a fork to keep sections from potentially bubbling up.
Popped these in the oven for 400F convection bake. I like to get them pretty brown to insure the crusty isn't mushy. Usually takes around 15 minutes or so.
Got the ingredients ready while the crust was baking. Ended up using two cans of anchovies on one, guaranteed i get to eat that whole pie as my wife wont touch it lol. All I had on hand was sandwich pepperoni so I just cut it up to make it easier to eat. Here are the pizzas loaded up and ready to go back in the 400F oven. Hit it with plenty of cheese and sauce, really love the sauce as it has nice big chunks of tomato in it.
Hi
Well here it is fresh and hot out of the oven and smelling pretty irresistible!
Well that's it. Was off to the table to play games with my wife. She had some sparkling wine for the occasion and I had my favorite Ginger beer. For the record she beat me 3 out of the 4 games we played which is ok lol, Happy wife happy life!! Happy New Year and thanks for looking.
